Oh, fuck Gambit. He's so terrible, they used him to ruin Rogue. The single best thing about Carey's run on X-Men is that he quickly has Rogue move past Gambit. He sucks.

Liefeld is the reason I stopped collecting comics in the '90s (I picked it back up later). I hated the whole EXTREME! era, and oh God, the pockets. Coming right after the Claremont era, you could just feel yourself getting dumber reading the X-books. The change in quality and tone was staggering.

I saw Tanya Donelly do a version of "Trust in Me" that made me fall in love with her. I think that was with the Breeders, but… I'll see Donelly in any band doing anything.

My wife is terrified of anthropomorphic animals. This Super Bowl was a virtual house of horrors for her, and she went to bed early.

I'm with you. I also find that I eat a lot more McDonald's now that I have kids because, and go ahead and shame away, both the Posette and I have full-time jobs and it's not an uncommon occurrence for us to get home late and not have the time or energy to cook.

Fried cheese is delicious, but it is only when drunk that I no longer fear the consequences of eating it.

Someone gave my daughter an old doll they used to have as a child. I'm not afraid that the doll is going to murder me, as that would be ridiculous. I'm worried it's slowly going to steal my soul and trap me in its body. I make sure to turn the doll to the corner anytime it is not in use, so it can't stare at me. Old…

Nepotism and jock-sniffing, respectively. Wonder no more.

Yeah, Bernie's real problem is that he is not attracting non-white voters, which for a Democrat, is the kiss of death. Iowa is VERY white and its Democratic Party is so liberal it managed to keep sending Tom Harkin to the Senate. This state was demographically designed for Bernie to win.

More importantly, every other candidate's campaign is now in flaming wreckage on the side of the highway. Jeb Bush has over $60 million in cash on hand, and it's not like he's going to give that back to the donors once he drops out.

Alienses.

Man, I love being Germany. Always my goal to create a northern navy to rival the English and keep them off the continent.

I prefer Colonial. The nations set up as major powers also have more borders to defend. The problem with Italy/Austria in the classic map is you are both weak and surrounded. At least Turkey has a shot to sweet talk Russia.

My friends played a lot of Diplomacy in college (yeah, nerds), and while face to face Diplomacy is a great way to ruin friendships, its nothing compared to the hatred engendered by playing online. This is because you start altering and then forwarding your friend's emails to other players.

But that's well after she murders Vision. And Hawkeye, who is then raised from the dead, but not Vision, even though he's a robot and you'd think that would be easier.

But the babies are imaginary and are blinked out of existence.

As someone who recently bought a home in a Texas suburb, I enjoy this show for the exact opposite reason. The Dallas Metroplex lacks any major topography (or water for that matter), so we have tons of flat land, keeping housing prices somewhat reasonable. I do not have a saltwater pool. Or any pool for that matter.

Darby Crash was most certainly an asshole and a nihilistic ball of angst, but I don't think that rules out him being an artist. He also didn't happen to front a band, the Germs were a defiant musical statement made in his image. The intentionally alienating Annihilation Man, used to turn off punk audiences expecting…

You could say the same of a lot of pop music movements. Which doesn't dull your point, it just shows the staggering influence Bowie had on so many seemingly wildly divergent styles of music.

I once spent the second half of a Less Than Jake show standing in a bathtub, covered in silly string. I have no idea how the bathtub got there.
